Netherlands

Erin,

Yep, just the southern half. In fact, in the view I linked to, you can already see the change to low-res data at the very top. The high-res data continues to the south and west for many miles, but my house turns out to be a few hundred yards from the northern edge and less than a mile from the eastern edge.

When I sent out a link regarding the swapped country names one of the smart alecs in the office responded with this.

No thats actually correct. the Netherlands have traded in their swamp for less imminently submerged lands. the Belgians, being part french, thought they were getting a good deal on some waterfront property but in fact got soon to be under-water front property : )
